The Joe Rogan Experience

So it's encoding the geodetic shape of the Earth.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

The ratio of latitude to longitude is encoded incredibly accurately in these perimeter lengths on the pyramid.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

It's just kind of mind-boggling.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

Well, so this would be the skeptic reductionist's answer to this stuff.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

You have to, right?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

You say, well, you're just playing with numbers.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

It's like, well, it's...

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

The numbers, none of those things, anyone can check that data for themselves.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

Like the 43,200 to 1 ratio of the pyramid, the fact that that's the number of seconds in 12 hours of the day.

The Joe Rogan Experience

I mean, this, by the way, 432 turns up all over the place.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

The Kali Yuga is said to be 43,200 years old.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

The radius of the sun is 432,000 miles long.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

The king's list from the Sumerians is a total of 432,000 years with one king reigning for 43,200 years.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

So this 432 is one of those...

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

One of those sacred geometry numbers that keeps turning up again and again.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

But what's always been fascinating to me in the geodetic information encoded in the Great Pyramid is like you have to understand the shape and size of the Earth to get that ratio so accurately embedded in that monument.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

And we weren't able to do that.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

basically until really recently with satellite servers, but we certainly weren't able to measure longitude even until the turn of the 18th century, like James Cook's second voyage of discovery.
